My girlfriend's Mum has been diagnosed with a malignant melanoma. This happened in the last 2-3 weeks but my girlfriend only told me last week. We have been in a long distance relationship for just over 2 months and she didn't want to tell me over the phone. She has understandably been spending all her time back home with her Mum & family since the diagnosis. I don't know what to say to her or how to support her. She told me to keep messaging her, so I've sent one each day but they seem so irrelevant. I've said I will do whatever she needs me to, be that errands back home for her (she lives 5hrs away from her mum's) or drive 10 hrs just to give her a hug. She hasn't responded back to a message yet. I've not met her Mum or any member of her family or even her friends, I hate feeling so helpless & unable to support her. I don't want to keep sending her messages that she really doesn't need right now but I also don't want her to think I don't care. I just don't know what to do.
